I'm a little puzzled here. When you have filled the mould with lead
and covered it with fibreglass, won't the mould still be in there. Is
that OK?

How big is this thing? How complicated is the shape?

Ian, I create a mold first then I pour lead into the mold. Later I
break the mold up and I use fiberglass to cover the lead so it is
trapped and I am not exposed to lead dust.

Sheet lead is usually available from a good hardware store or from a
roofing supply place. *I picked up a roll approx. 300 mm wide by 4mm

Good idea, I guess this is another way of doing it.
